Inspired by lavish medieval and Byzantine artwork, as well as minimalism, Kate’s work is an accumulation of juxtaposing ideas and conceptions. Combining the ancient approaches with a contemporary and updated aesthetic brings the past and the present together. The prompting is to research the ideas and methods of past artists, as well as to explore the possibilities of creating complexity from simplicity. Subtle earthly imagery makes its way into some pieces, and the use of gold leaf is present in many images, emphasizing the idea of the intersection of heaven and earth. 

Kate works with interior designers/decorators to create specialized pieces for particular places, especially corporate environments, and homes. Please contact Kate directly if you are interesting in commissioning a custom artwork.
